Apparent illegal kennel closed

By Carl E. Hartdegen Staff Writer WESTFIELD – An apparent illegal kennel has been disrupted after two puppies were discovered that apparently fell from a second-floor porch.

Police responded to an anonymous phone call Tuesday evening from a person who said that there were multiple litters of puppies that had been left alone in the second-floor apartment on Church Street.

Officer Michael Csekovsky was the first officer to respond and found two very young puppies outside but got no response at the door of the apartment.

At his request, an emergency dispatcher contacted the property owner who said that court proceedings are underway to evict the tenant who had told hm that the puppies would be removed from the apartment.

The landlord said that he could not meet the officer at the house and, in order to determine if any animals were at further risk inside, firefighters were asked to gain entry to the apartment.

Once firefighters opened the door for police, no resident was found inside but a menagerie of animals was discovered so the city’s animal control officer, Kerri Francis, was asked to also respond.

Officer Richard Mazza reports that in addition to the two puppies outside, there was an older litter of pit bull mix puppies, as well as a nursing pit bull bitch, apparently the mother of the two daysold puppies and perhaps also the mother of the older litter which was estimated to be several weeks old.

In addition to the dogs, several other animals were discovered including both adult and baby rabbits, birds, a cat and a ferret.

Mazza reports that although a relative of the resident was contacted, the resident herself could not be found and he was told that her phone was not working.

Francis reports that she removed the eight older pit bull mix puppies, as well as the mother dog and her two days-old pups. In addition, Francis removed four baby rabbits and a adult male rabbit.

‘Annapurna’ in Chester

By MARK AUERBACH Correspondent CHESTER – The Chester Theatre Company is celebrating its 25th Anniversary season with a production of up-and-coming playwright Sharr White’s two-character play, “Annapurna”, a sometimes comic drama about former lovers and spouses, whose lives converge after a twenty year absence. For many, a reason to visit Chester will be an opportunity to see former Westfield resident, the actress Michelle Joyner, who is now based in Los Angeles.

Sharr White is definitely a young American playwright to watch. His play “The Snow Geese” played on Broadway last season, and his earlier Broadway venture “The Other Place”, has been seen in many regional theatres, including Hartford’s TheaterWorks and Pittsfield’s Barrington Stage Company. Megan Mullally and Nick Offerman starred in “Annapurna” in Los Angeles, and later appeared together in an Off-Broadway production last Spring.

Set in a run-down trailer (beautiful-

ly-designed by Vicki Davis) in Colorado, we find Ulysses (Daniel Riordan), a sometimes cowboy, sometimes poet, lounging naked attached to an oxygen tank, amidst clutter. Emma (Michelle Joyner), his ex-wife and mother of his child, arrives unexpectedly. Emma has walked out on her current husband, as she had walked out on Ulysses. Over the course of this tautly written play, we learn why Emma walked out on both, why Ulysses can’t remember the reason for her departure, and watch both of them negotiate difficult truths.

Robert Egan’s staging serves playwright White’s script well, and the physical production (costuming by Charles Schoonmaker, lighting by Lara Dubin, and sound by Tom Shread) fill every inch of the very small Chester Town Hall stage. A note to those attending Chester Theatre productions: the auditorium and playing areas are compact, and it feels like a theatre production is being staged in your living room.

Patrick signs $36B state budget

By BOB SALSBERG Associated Press BOSTON (AP) — Gov. Deval Patrick signed into law Friday the final state budget of his administration, while also asking lawmakers to expand his authority to order spending cuts, if needed, during his last months in office.

The $36.5 billion budget for the fiscal year that began July 1 is a continuation, Patrick said, of the administration’s strategy of investing in education, infrastructure upgrades and cuttingedge industries such as life sciences.

That has proven to be a successful strategy, as demonstrated by the fact that we have the highest level of employment in Massachusetts in some 25 years, and families are moving into Massachusetts again, instead of out,” the governor said.

Patrick vetoed $16 million from the budget, representing

only a tiny fraction of total spending.

The governor’s second and final term ends in January. In an unexpected development Friday, Patrick filed a separate bill that would broaden his power to make targeted spending reductions in state government — without legislative approval — through Dec. 31, should the administration deem such cuts necessary.

Governors already possess more limited power to reduce spending in certain agencies under their direct control, but such authority is generally only exercised after economic downturns or when tax collections fall well below projections.

Patrick said the expanded powers he was seeking would allow the administration to reduce spending in one area so funds could then be reallocated to another area of more urgent need.

“Some may think that governors already have such tools.

The truth is they don’t, but should,” he said.

Secretary of Administration and Finance Glen Shor later explained the request was not tied to any specific budgetary or revenue concerns.

“We’re seeking a modest expansion of some of the authority we have right now to deal with unforeseen developments that are pressing and require a quick response to make room in the budget,” said Shor, who as an example gave the recent sharp hike in heroin overdoses around the state.

If approved by lawmakers, the governor’s budget-cutting powers would be broadened to include other entities such as state colleges, district attorneys and certain independent agencies, administration officials said.

Patrick said the fiscal 2015

Board approves road project funding

By Dan Moriarty Staff Writer WESTFIELD – The Board of Public Works voted unanimously Tuesday to approve two change orders for engine4ering work being done in connection with road improvement projects at North Elm Street and the second in neighborhoods off Main Street.

The BPW voted 3-0 to approve a change order in the amount of $23,000 for the North Elm Street center turning lanes and drainage improvements being designed by Vanasse Hangen Brustlin (VHB) Inc. The additional funding is to prepare documents for a truck exclusion on the lower section of Notre Dame Street which will be submitted to the state Department of Transportation (DOT) for its review and, hopefully, approval of the city’s request to prohibit commercial truck traffic in that neighborhood.

The city is also proposing to create a dedicated truck route from North Elm Street to Union Street that will require commercial traffic to go south, across the bridge to Elm Street and make a U-turn in front of Holy Trinity Church, then travel north to access Union Street, a proposal which will also need the DOT’s blessing.

Utility Engineer Heather Miller of the city’s Engineering Department presented those change orders to the BPW Tuesday night. Miller said that the $23,000 engineering change order includes a comprehensive traffic study at the North Middle and Southampton Road schools.

The additional work is being funded with bond money.

“The intersection study at the North Middle School is being done to see if the traffic warrants the installation of a traffic light,” Miller said Friday. “The study will provide information on the overall traffic volume, the timing of that traffic volume and turning movements in and out of the two schools.

“It’s a sticky spot because of the curve in the roadway,” Miller said.

The board also approved a $36,000 change order for the Old Town Roadway Reconstruction of 2013 which is being performed by Tighe & Bond. That project was broken into two phases, one connected with construction of the proposed Ashley Street School and the other phase associated with construction of the senior center.

Those phases have flipped in priority a couple of times due to the status changes of the associated school and senior center construction projects.

The city, for the past decade, has selected streets in the downtown to be part of the Old Town Roadway effort. The streets selected typically have poor pavement conditions which triggers the city to look at the infrastructure and see if they need to be upgraded. Key elements this effort addresses are pavement, sidewalks, curbing, drainage, sanitary sewer, and water mains.

All of these are looked at and are replaced or refurbished as needed.

Miller said the change order is to make the project bid ready, with construction and bid documents prepared to allow the city to proceed with the actual construction, most likely of the phase associated with the senior center.

Construction of the senior facility is expected to begin later this month “The design is pretty much done,” Miller said.

“The change order is to bring it to bid documents, to bring the (engineering) drawings up to construction documents.”

One phase of the work, associated with the elementary school, includes Cross, Ashley, State streets and Taylor Avenue. The other phase of the project encompasses George, Frederick, Noble, East Silver, Exchange, Cycle streets, Cleveland, Parkside, Lozier and Clinton avenues, Old Town Fordway and Lindbergh Boulevard.

Miller said the additional work includes assessments of both ends of Lindbergh Boulevard and Noble Street where those streets intersect of Main Street on the north and East Silver Street on the south.

Driver of stalled pickup finds slithering surprise SANTA FE, N.M. (AP) — When a woman’s pickup stalled on a street in Santa Fe, New Mexico, local chef Jackson Ault stopped to lend a hand.

Ault and the driver both ended up with a surprise Thursday when Ault popped the hood and found a brown and yellow python slithering across the engine block.

A police lieutenant responded to a call for help. He retrieved the 20-pound snake.

The python was taken to the Santa Fe Animal Shelter, where spokesman Ben Swan says the reptile has minor injuries but otherwise is in good shape.

Police say the snake likely crawled into the pickup at the motorist’s home several blocks from where the vehicle stalled. And Ault says he thinks the truck stalled because the snake dislodged an electrical wire.

Authorities say the owner hasn’t turned up yet.

I myself have been keeping busy in this concerns and possible solutions they may have to great city, from shopping downtown to the issues. Most importantly, I’d like to have people at Chamber of Commerce Breakfast this past the table with opposing ideas and opinions. As I Thursday… there’s always something to do! said many times throughout the campaign, party I’m excited to announce that there is great news politics should not be the driving force. I’m for the city of Westfield today. Governor Patrick extremely interested in hearing from people who I signed the 2015 budget yesterday, and the amenddon’t typically hear from, and especially from ments I submitted on behalf of Westfield made the people who think differently than I do. It is through final cut. This was the last obstacle for the amendthe combination of differing ideas and opinions ments, which total in $165,000 worth of funding that solutions emerge. It is my intention to stimufor Westfield.

Senate OKs environmental bill BOSTON — The Massachusetts Senate has unanimously approved a $1.9 billion, four-year environmental bond bill.

The legislation is intended to help preserve and improve land, parks and renewable energy resources. During Thursday’s debate, senators added $200 million to the bill, which was originally $1.7 billion.

Among the dozens of spending projects is $100 million for the dredging of Boston and New Bedford harbors and another $100 million for the Department of Conservation and Recreation for the design, construction and preservation of forests, parks, harbor islands, and other recreational facilities.

The bill would also require state environmental officials to identify areas where deer overpopulation is harming forestation, water resources, or plant growth on state land and to develop a plan to cull deer herds by October.

House and Senate negotiators will now hammer out a single compromise bill for final passage and consideration of the Governor.

“This bill will authorize the Governor of the Commonwealth to spend funds on these very worth-

while and necessary projects.

I was happy to work with local leaders and municipalities to identify projects in need of funding throughout my district,” said Senator Don Humason (R – 2nd Hampden & Hampshire District). “It is gratifying to see the projects I advocated for included in the final Senate version of the bill.”

Senator Don Humason secured the following district priorities in the bill: - $1,000,000 for the completion of the downtown corridor phase of the Columbia Greenway project in the city of Westfield - $1,000,000 to protect public health and reduce the existing threat of sewerage overflow discharged into the Connecticut River as part of the Dwight/Heritage/Front street combined sewer improvement project in the city of Holyoke - $10,000,000 to clean up the Connecticut River - $350,000 to construct stormwater improvements to improve the quality of water

language to study whether prosecutors who work under the DAs also deserve increases.

Most audience members came to see Michelle Joyner, as they knew her from either her days in Pittsfield or in Westfield. “Annapurna”, however, belongs to her co-star Daniel Riordan, who commands the stage for the entire play.

A rich voice, star presence, and a well-written character to develop add up to a great performance. Joyner is much more understated. Her performance, at times complex, is small.

Her character is more difficult to sympathize with, so she doesn’t get the script’s fireworks until more than halfway through the play.

It’s always great to see hometown folk return to their backyards to do theatre, and Joyner, and director Egan (Joyner’s off-stage husband) now summer just miles from the Chester Theatre Company. Hopefully, they’ll return in subsequent seasons.

THE WESTFIELD NEWS

“Abandoned dog taken to shelter” Front page news. Really?

Yes. Has it ever occurred to you tailgaters that the slower moving vehicles on BACK roads may happen to be newly permitted drivers who are trying to learn to drive? Trying to get the feel of a vehicle and the road can be a little nerve wracking and I am sure that all permitted children and their adults with them would appreciate it if you backed off a bit! You didn’t instantaniously become an expert driver. Tailgating or flipping them off is really rude. Please try to be a little more considerate as you share the road. These young drivers will get better. Thank you from a newly permitted driver and parents.

Just wondering why I can only water my grass and, wash my car 3 times a week yet the city can water there grass every day.

Practice what you preach. According to city officials: we have some locations with new sod and or planting that need regular watering, as do the athletic fields.

I see the city is going to advertise for a replacement animal control officer to replace Ken Frazer who’s contract expired on June 30. Since his contract expired it is NO LONGER a personnel issue and it is time for the so called elite in this city to come forth and explain the reason(s) for removing him. I for one knew the man and liked how he ran the shelter. Just ask the disgruntled shelter volunteers who DO NOT like the current head. Even though Mr. Frasier’s contract has expired, his personnel file is still not public record. That is the same with all past employees.

James’ return to Cleveland could complicate GOP By the Associated Press Celebrations aside, LeBron James’ decision to return to the Cleveland Cavaliers of the NBA could complicate the Republican Party’s plan to nominate its presidential contender on Lake Erie’s shores in 2016.

If James leads his team into post-season play then, the GOP could find its preferred June 28 start date for the convention impossible because of the site conflict. Convention planners typically take weeks to customize the space with lights, seats and the traditional balloon drop from the rafters — impossible tasks if the Cavaliers go into post-season play.

That leaves Republicans looking at their backup date of July 18, still earlier than parties typically nominate their presidential hopeful in recent years, but later than RNC chief Reince Priebus preferred.

“All options remain on the table as we’re still very early on in the negotiation process,” RNC spokeswoman Kirsten Kukowski said. “We’re excited about Cleveland, and LeBron’s return is further evidence that it’s a city on the rise.”

Priebus insisted his party’s convention be scheduled for early summer 2016, roughly two months sooner than has become the norm. That would give the GOP’s next presidential nominee quicker access to tens of millions of dollars in general election cash.

“The candidate can be broke, but they’re not able to raise general election money until the convention is held,” Priebus said earlier this week.

But James’ return to the Cavaliers from the Miami Heat could complicate that timeline and perhaps Republican efforts to win the White House. Teams with James have made it to the league finals in five of the last eight seasons, and his move to Cleveland is unlikely to reverse that trend.

Cleveland on Tuesday won the unanimous backing of a RNC panel, all but guaranteeing the GOP’s 2016 presidential pick will accept the party’s nomination in perennially hard-fought Ohio. RNC lawyers are now in negotiations with Cleveland’s organizing committee over the exact terms of the bid, including how many weeks of early and exclusive access Republicans can expect in the Cavaliers’ arena.

If the RNC insists on its preferred date and weeks of early access to hang balloons and bunting, the Cavaliers could be forced to look at other venues for post-season play. Ohio State University’s basketball arena in Columbus is one such option.

The full 168-member RNC is expected to finalize the deal next month.

Ohio’s allure as a political prize proved tempting. The last candidate to win the White House without Ohio was John F. Kennedy, a Democrat, in 1960.

During the 2012 presidential race, President Barack Obama and Republican challenger Mitt Romney made Ohio a central piece of their strategies. Combined, they spent $150 million on television ads and were frequent visitors to the state, which narrowly broke in Obama’s favor.

Rogers: $3.7B ask ‘too much money’

By Seung Min Kim Politico.com The top House Republican overseeing government spending said Friday that President Barack Obama’s emergency funding request to respond to the crisis at the Texas border is “too much.”

House Appropriations Committee Chairman Hal Rogers (R-Ky.) told reporters that his panel is scouring through the numbers in Obama’s $3.7 billion supplemental ask, but indicated that the funding level will have to be cut to get House approval.

“It’s too much money,” Rogers said of Obama’s request, which he sent to Congress earlier this week. “We don’t need it.

Secondly, a lot of what he’s requesting is being considered in the regular bill process.”

Much of the funding depends on whether Congress decides to alter a 2008 anti-trafficking law that effectively makes it more difficult to deport children who come here illegally from countries that do not border the United States — a measure at the heart of the congressional debate.

Though not explicating endorsing a change to the 2008 law, Rogers said doing so would “greatly change the dynamics of what we have to spend money for in terms of taking care of these refugees.” A working group established by Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) already has endorsed revising the law, as has the speaker himself.

But amending the law would run into stiff resistance from liberal and Latino lawmakers, who are urging Congress not to make any changes that will limit protections for children fleeing dangerous circumstances back home in central America.

Rep. Luis Gutierrez (D-Ill.) said during a press conference hosted by the Congressional Hispanic Caucus Friday that he will not vote for emergency funding measures if it’s paired with changes to the 2008 law that would effectively make it easier to send these unaccompanied children back home.

Hispanic lawmakers on Friday strongly criticized any potential changes to the law — a key condition of congressional Republicans to secure the emergency funding. Its members will head to the White House in the coming days to press President Barack Obama on this issue, said the caucus’s chairman, Ruben Hinojosa (D-Texas).

“When we see these children, we see the faces of our own

children,” Gutierrez said. “We see the faces of our own nieces and nephews. We see the faces of our community, and we’re not going to tolerate the ones that want to exploit them for political gain and demonize them.”

One of the Hispanic caucus’s own members, Rep. Henry Cuellar (D-Texas), has been trying to write legislation with Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas) that seeks to revise the trafficking law so that children from noncontiguous countries are treated similarly as those who come from Mexico or Canada.

The Texas duo plan to introduce the legislation — which they’ve called the Helping Unaccompanied Minors and Alleviating National Emergency, or HUMANE, Act — next week. Aside from equal treatment of all children, regardless of country of origin, their bill includes requirements that facilities holding them be kept in “humane” conditions, and the lawmakers also say their legislation will keep due process protections for the unaccompanied minors.

But those efforts earned a stern scolding from Cuellar’s colleagues on Friday.

“Henry Cuellar does not represent the Congressional Hispanic Caucus,” Hinojosa said. “He’s a Blue Dog, he comes to the meetings once in a long time … make it clear. Cuellar does not speak for the Congressional Hispanic Caucus and the many other caucuses who are united with us.”

Meanwhile, Rogers, the Appropriations chairman, declined to cite an appropriate level of funding to provide resources for border enforcement and the influx of unaccompanied children trying to enter the United States illegally, saying he hopes to have a number next week.

The Republican-led House is currently working through the 12 government funding measures, completing six of them.

Much of Obama’s funding request is directed to agencies within the Department of Homeland Security and Health and Human Services, and the full House has not yet taken up appropriations bills for them.

The Democratic-led Senate has not completed any appropriations bills this year.

But Rogers acknowledged that some of Obama’s funding requests are emergencies and will need to be dealt with by lawmakers on Capitol Hill “immediately.”

“That’s what we’re trying to put together right now,” he said.

CDC stops shipment of dangerous materials

By Natalie Villacorta Politico.com The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is halting shipments of biological materials from its high-level biosecurity labs in Atlanta following incidents involving the improper handling of dangerous infectious agents, including anthrax, bird flu and botulism bacteria.

The incidents, which include some nearly a decade ago, were detailed in a report released Friday by Director Tom Frieden.

“These events should have never happened,” he said during a call with reporters.

The agency disclosed last month that dozens of staff may have been exposed to anthrax after researchers working in a biosecurity laboratory on its Atlanta campus failed to inactivate the bacteria before they were moved to a lower-security lab there. And on Wednesday, Frieden learned of another incident involving a deadly influenza virus that occurred this spring.

“I think this is a wake-up call,” Frieden said as he discussed the findings of the internal review of the anthrax incident. He described himself as disappointed and angry and acknowledged that Americans “may be wondering whether we’re doing what we need to do to keep them safe and to keep our workers safe.”

The report’s release follows by less than a week the discovery of several vials containing smallpox in a long-unused storage room at NIH. The sealed vials, which dated to 1954, were flown to the CDC’s high-containment facility in Atlanta for testing and then will be destroyed.

In the incident involving anthrax, the CDC has concluded that it is highly unlikely that any of the workers were, in fact, exposed to the bacteria, and none has become ill. The breach occurred because scientists were not following an approved protocol for inactivating the anthrax and did not confirm that the sample was inactive before transporting it, Frieden said.

In addition, the laboratory’s use of anthrax was not appropriate, he said, and the scientists were not aware of the best protocols for inactivation. The lab is now closed and will remain so “until certain specific actions are taken,” according to the report.

The CDC has already appointed a director of laboratory safety and established both an internal working group and an external advisory group to investigate the incidents and the agency’s laboratory safety protocol, Frieden said. Staff members who violated safety protocols or failed to report violations in a timely manner will be disciplined.

DAR distributes first spay/neuter vouchers for homeless dogs BOSTON The Department of Agricultural Resources (DAR) today distributed the first vouchers from the Massachusetts Animal Fund’s Spay/Neuter Program, which offers free spay/neuter surgery and rabies vaccinations to homeless dogs and cats, as well as dogs and cats owned by lowincome families in Massachusetts. ”While there are many dogs and cats across the Commonwealth in loving homes, there are many who live in unsafe conditions on their own,” said DAR Commissioner Greg Watson.

“The Spay/Neuter Program is an important part in improving the lives of these animals and making our communities safer.”

The Massachusetts Animal Fund has partnered with municipal animal control officers to identify the state’s most vulnerable animals, and veterinary practices that are committed to providing surgery and vaccination at a

reduced rate. Animal homelessness poses a public safety concern and costs taxpayers money for services dealing with stray, abandoned and feral animals and their offspring.

Since 2013, the Massachusetts Animal Fund has raised $434,000 solely through a voluntary tax check-off on Line 32f of the Massachusetts resident income tax form to help with their efforts end animal homelessness in the Commonwealth. Residents are now able to make direct online donations at https:// www.paybill.com/massanimalfund. DAR and the Massachusetts Animal Fund encourage residents of the Commonwealth to invest in the responsible care of animals.

North Shore Animal Hospital was the first veterinary practice to sign up as a Spay/Neuter provider. They are also one of the first recipients of a voucher, which will be used on a small, male,

mixed-breed stray dog who was found in Chelsea, brought to their shelter on June 4, and will available for adoption after the procedure. ”Until now, shelters have had no regular guaranteed source of funding for stray animals and must rely on donations and support from local veterinarians,” said Lauren Lacey of North Shore Animal Hospital. “The Massachusetts Animal Fund Spay/Neuter Voucher Program will allow people to provide their pets with needed veterinary care.

This assistance program will help so many animals have happy and healthy lives.”

The second voucher was requested by Coral Hope, the A PRAYER TO THE HOLY SPIRIT Holy Spirit, You who made me see everything and showed me the way to reach my ideal. You, who gave me the divine gift to forgive and forget the wrong done to me and you, who are in all instances of my life with me. I, in this short dialogue want to thank you for everything and confirm once more that I never want to be separated from you no matter how great the material desire may be. I want to be with you and my loved ones in your perpetual glory. Amen. Thank you for your love towards me and my loved ones. Persons must pray the prayer three consecutive days without asking your wish. After the third day wish will be granted no matter how difficult it may be. Then promise to publish this dialogue as soon as this favor is granted.

I WILL NEVER STOP TRUSTING IN GOD AND HIS POWER. A.O.D.

Obituaries Timothy C. Bridges SOUTHWICK - Timothy C. Bridges, 45, a resident of this town for 23 years, passed away suddenly on July 8, 2014 at Noble Hospital, Westfield. Born in Ware, MA, Tim was a graduate of Pathfinder Regional High School and Springfield Technical Community College and was currently working towards a Bachelor’s degree at Southern New Hampshire University.

He was a regulatory and compliance leader with GE Healthcare, and had been a member of the Southwick Fire Dept. for over 20 years.

Tim was a mentor for Team Justice Racing, a member of the Southwick Fireman’s Association, former committee chair for Boy Scout Troop #114, and was an NESC Rider Rep. He leaves his best friend and loving wife, Melissa Bridges; three sons, Matthew T., Michael and Nicholas, all of Southwick, MA; his devoted mother, Nancy Fleury of Westfield, MA; two brothers, Scott & Heather Bridges with Mikaela, Abby (Goddaughter), and Alex of Warren, MA, and Carl Bridges with Sadie, Aeron, and Shelby of West Brookfield, MA; his maternal grandmother, Sophie Fleury of Warren, MA; his close friends, Jim D’Onofrio, Kevin Bishop, Pat Sullivan and father, Charles Bridges of Tenn.

Tim “Golden Touch” Bridges had many hobbies and interests.

Tim’s first and most dear to his heart was with Mis watching and helping their sons grow while enjoying all the special moments they had as a family. Tim could always be found outside in his garage tinkering with assorted projects whether it is dirt bikes, snowmobiles, trucks, or campers. His boys said that “he could fix anything… and if not he’d call Jim.” Tim was often heard saying that he could fix it “because he learned it from Grampy.” He was a family man who spent many hours supporting his sons in all their endeavors. He was a hockey fanatic who spent countless hours driving all over the country to support Nick and his hockey team. He and the family became involved in Motocross when Mike decided he wanted to race, and within a couple of years Matt was racing too. Tim was passionate about racing and became a mentor to all the kids with Team Justice and enjoyed the family atmosphere and constantly being surrounded by his friends and family. Tim’s nieces and nephews always found Tim to be a fascinating source of information and wit, especially Alex who idolized “Uncle Tim”. Tim enjoyed traveling with his family all over the country and Canada. Tim’s winter sport consisted of traveling to Maine and enjoying the trails with his friends and family. Tim’s love of life left all his family with many happy memories.

Spanish citizenship offer appeals to U.S. Jews

By FERNANDO PEINADO, Associated Press MIAMI (AP) — Elias Barrocas grew up thinking of Spain as a beloved ancestral home, but one that painfully rejected his Jewish family five centuries ago.

Now, he is waiting expectantly for a long overdue homecoming.

The Spanish government presented a bill last month that would grant citizenship to Jews forced into exile from Spain by the Inquisition in 1492. The plan, expected to pass easily in Parliament, aims to right a past wrong and honor the loyalty of communities that “do not hold a grudge” against a country that forgot them, according to the bill.

For Barrocas and many other American Jews of Spanish descent the emotional link with the Spain of their forefathers was never broken.

His parents first taught him Ladino, a language spoken by the expelled Jewish communities that was derived from Old Spanish. He sang Ladino songs, observed traditions passed on for generations and heard stories of a people that either faced expulsion, conversion to Catholicism or death at the stake during the Inquisition.

Barrocas, 63, only visited Spain once — in 1982 — but a Spanish passport would make official what he has always felt.

“I love Spain because my roots are there,” said the Miami resident, who is a U.S. citizen.

Worldwide, there are an estimated 3 million Jews of Spanish origin. They are known as Sephardic Jews, for the Hebrew word for Spain, though some Sephardic Jews’ ancestors herald from other nearby countries or North Africa. The Spanish government expects most of the new applications to come from Israel, where crowds have lined up outside the Spanish Embassy and consulate to request more information, or from Turkey and Venezuela, home to large Sephardic communities.

Many Sephardic Jews in Miami and New York have directed queries to organizations like the American Jewish Committee, which the Spanish government consulted during the drafting of the bill.

“There is a lot of interest,” said Dina Siegel Vann, director of the committee’s Latino and Latin American Institute.

For many Sephardic Jews in the United States, the draw of Spanish citizenship is mainly symbolic, though it would give them access to residency and jobs across the European Union, she said.

Sara Slomianski, a 49-year old housewife of Mexican origin who lives in Miami, said she is content with her U.S. citizenship, but her sister See Citizenship, Page 7

in Mexico is considering applying so she could move to Europe in search of a better life. Most of the United States’ roughly 5.5 million Jews are of Central and Eastern European heritage, but as many as 300,000 have Sephardic roots. Many descended from Jews who fled from Spain to North Africa, the Middle East or other European countries and centuries later moved to the New World.

Over the centuries, Sephardic Jews scattered in communities around the world have preserved their distinct language, prayers, songs and traditions.

In congregations such as Temple Moses, in Miami Beach, members pray and sing in Ladino.

Abraham Lavender, a Florida International University professor of sociology and Judaic studies, said the emotional attachment many Sephardic Jews have with Spain has defied the passing of time.

“It’s almost like a lingering love that hasn’t been fulfilled,” he said.

According to Spain’s bill, to be eligible for dual citizenship, applicants will also have to take a Spanish culture test and have their ancient ties to the nation vetted by experts.

The Spanish government is expecting a massive response, according to reports in the Spanish news media.

Gov. Patrick issues reminder of Summer Safety Tips BOSTON — Patrick Administration Issues a Reminder On Summertime Safety Tips With summer underway, the Massachusetts the Department of Children and Families (DCF), Department of Public Health (DPH), and the Office of the Child Advocate (OCA) would like to remind families and caregivers about important information that will help keep young children safe this summer.

Infants, toddlers and young children (ages 0-5 years) are generally not aware of dangers around them and depend on adults to keep them safe. During warm weather, take steps to prevent falls from windows, keep children safe in cars, and encourage water safety, especially around pools. Simple safety steps can prevent injury.

Window Safety Falls are the leading cause of injury to children, and falls from windows involving young children are especially serious. Window falls are preventable. In order to prevent window falls, parents and caregivers should: • Keep low furniture and anything a child can climb on away from windows.

• Open windows from the top, not the bottom, when possible.

• Lock all unopened doors and windows.

• Be sure children are always supervised.

• Install quick release window guards; screens do not protect children from falling out of windows. You can buy quickrelease window guards in most hardware stores.

Water and Pool Safety 1, 2 Children have a natural curiosity and attraction to water. However, drowning is a leading cause of death among young children, both nationally and in Massachusetts.

Backyard pools, whether in ground or above ground are the highest risk for children under the age of 5. To help prevent water-related injury and drowning: • Children should be supervised in and around water at all times • Designate an adult “water watcher.” When it is your turn as “water watcher” you should not be involved in any other distracting activity, including talking on the phone, not even for a moment.

• Whenever infants and toddlers are in or around water, including the bathtub, an adult should be within an arm's length at all times providing "touch supervision."

• Do not drink alcohol while supervising children.

• Install a four-sided pool fence that completely separates the house and play area of the yard from the pool area.

• After the children are done swimming, secure the pool so they cannot get back in.

• Consider additional barriers such as automatic door locks or alarms to prevent access or notify you if someone enters the pool area.

• Remove floats, balls and other toys from the pool after use so that children are not tempted to reach for them.

• Keep rescue equipment (such as a shepherd's hook or life preserver) and a telephone by the pool.

• For children who cannot swim, use coast-guard approved

life jackets. Do not use air-filled or foam toys, such as "water wings," "noodles," or inner-tubes, in place of life jackets.

These toys are not designed to keep swimmers safe.

• Learn cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). The Red Cross offers a wide selection of CPR/AED, first aid, lifeguarding, swimming and water safety, caregiving, disaster response and emergency preparedness training. For information on classes, visit www.bostonredcross.org.

Additionally, when swimming in public swimming areas: • Select swimming sites that have lifeguards, whenever possible.

• Swim only in designated swimming areas.

• Do not use air-filled or foam toys, such as "water wings," "noodles," or inner-tubes, in place of life jackets (personal flotation devices). These toys are not designed to keep swimmers safe.

• Always swim with a buddy.

Teach your children to swim. Although swimming classes are not a primary means of drowning prevention, teaching children to swim can provide important protection as well as a fun way to exercise.

Car Safety 3 Cars can be unsafe - and not just because of car crashes. Children left in a hot car can die from overheating.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration estimates that a closed car, sitting in the summer sun, quickly turns into an oven, with temperatures rising from 78 degrees to 100 degrees in just three minutes and to 125 degrees in six to eight minutes. In addition, children can be injured while getting out of moving cars or be run or backed over by motor vehicles. To assist in keeping your young children safe in and around cars: • Never leave children alone in a parked vehicle, even when they are asleep or restrained, and even if the windows are open.

• Make a habit of looking in the vehicle - front and back before locking the door and walking away.

• If a child is missing, check the vehicle first, including the trunk.

• Do things to remind yourself that a child is in the vehicle, such as placing your purse, briefcase or something else you need in the back seat so that you will have to check the back seat when you leave the vehicle.

• Always lock your car and keep the keys out of children's reach.

• Ensure adequate supervision when children are playing in areas near parked motor vehicles.

• Ask your childcare provider to call you if your child does not show up for childcare.

If you see a child alone in a hot vehicle, call the police. If they are in distress due to heat, get them out as quickly as possible. Cool the child rapidly. Call 911 or your local emergency number immediately.

Please remember, all children ages 12 and younger should ride in the back seat. Be sure they are properly restrained every time they ride with you - even during those quick trips to the corner market. Infants and toddlers should remain in rear-facing car seats until they reach the highest weight or height

allowed by their car safety seat's manufacturer. At a minimum, children should ride rear-facing until they have reached at least one year of age and weigh at least 20 pounds.

DCF, DPH, and the OCA believe in the importance of preventing injuries. While the likelihood and severity of injury can be reduced by a variety of safety items - window guards, stair gates, outlet plugs, life vests, car seats - parents and caregivers are the critical partners in ensuring a young child's safety.

DCF, DPH, and the OCA are continuing to collaborate in a number of childhood injury areas, abusive head trauma/shaken baby syndrome, safe infant sleep and unintentional injury prevention, aimed at both prevention and child protection. It is our belief that our collective action, sharing of respective knowledge and resources and coordination with other systems, such as health care, public safety and, most importantly, caregivers, will lead to better prevention and safety for the Commonwealth's young children.

About the Department of Children and Families (DCF) The Department of Children and Families is charged with protecting children from abuse and neglect and strengthening families. There are approximately 7,000 children in foster care across Massachusetts and more than 40,000 children in all served by the Department. With the understanding that every child is entitled to a home that is free from abuse and neglect, the Department's vision is to ensure the safety of children in a manner that holds the best hope of nurturing a sustained, resilient network of relationships to support the child's growth and development into adulthood. Programs through the Department of Children and Families include foster care, adoption, adolescent services and domestic violence services.

About the Department of Public Health (DPH) The Massachusetts Department of Public Health serves all the people in the Commonwealth and promotes healthy people, healthy families, healthy communities and healthy environments through compassionate care, education and prevention.

About the Office of the Child Advocate (OCA) The goal of the OCA is to ensure that every child involved with state agencies in Massachusetts is protected from harm and receives quality services. The OCA works to improve the safety, health and wellbeing of Massachusetts children by promoting positive change in public policy and practice.

Probation trial final arguments set

By STEVE LeBLANC Associated Press BOSTON (AP) — The federal trial of former state probation Commissioner John O’Brien and two deputies could be heading to the jury soon.

The prosecution rested its case Friday and the defense opted not to call any witnesses, including O’Brien.

O’Brien and two deputies, Elizabeth Tavares and William Burke, are accused of funneling jobs to politically connected applicants at the expense of more qualified candidates. They pleaded not guilty to charges including mail fraud and bribery.

The trial has lasted more than two months and focused attention on the patronage culture on Beacon Hill. Closing arguments are expected to begin Tuesday.

Although no lawmakers were charged, they have figured into the prosecution’s case.

House Speaker Robert DeLeo this week strongly denied assertions by prosecutors that he traded jobs for votes or deliberately spared the agency from budget cuts.

Former state Rep. Charles Murphy, who chaired the budget-writing House Ways and Means Committee, testified Wednesday that during the height of the recession in 2009, when across-the-board cuts were being made in state government, DeLeo instructed him not to reduce the agency’s budget.

On Friday, DeLeo called Murphy’s allegation that the probation budget was protected from cuts “not only illogical, it was untruthful.”

“The public records are irrefutable and confirm the truth that, like almost all of the rest of state government, the Office of the Commissioner of Probation’s budget was cut

substantially in Fiscal Year 2010,” DeLeo said in a written statement.

He said the budget for the department was 14.2 percent less in the 2010 fiscal year compared to the prior year. DeLeo was not called to testify at the trial.

Prosecutors said in a court filing this week that a “quid pro quo” arraignment existed between DeLeo and O’Brien.

Investigators allege O’Brien rigged the agency’s hiring process to favor applicants referred by powerful lawmakers in exchange for favorable legislative action on the budget or other matters.

Earlier in the trial, an aide to Senate President Therese Murray testified that she provided help to several people who contacted the Democratic leader’s office about jobs in the state probation department, but also said under cross-examination that she also routinely assisted job seekers in other government agencies.

The probation department scandal has roiled Beacon Hill for several years.

A scathing 2010 report by independent counsel Paul Ware suggested an understanding between O’Brien and certain lawmakers linking generous state funding for the department to O’Brien’s willingness to give jobs to favored applicants.

At the very beginning of the trial U.S. District Court Judge William Young reminded the jury that political patronage has been common practice in American government for centuries.

“Political patronage, standing alone, is not a crime,” the judge said, adding that prosecutors would have to show that federal laws were actually broken.

By Peter Francis Staff Writer LONGMEADOW – Westfield Post 124 closed their regular season out with a road victory Friday, defeating host Longmeadow 14-2 at Longmeadow High School.

In what Westfield coach Don Irzyk referred to as a “marathon effort”, Westfield continually wore down Longmeadow behind a balanced offensive night and a dominant outing for pitcher Matt Irzyk, who bumped his record up to 5-0 on the season and recorded 10 strikeouts on the evening.

The win places 14-4 Post 124 in second place in the final regular season standings for their division and byes in both the first and second rounds of the postseason tournament.

“It’s a good thing, because these games are all single elimination games, and once we start there will be two four-team brackets,” explained Irzyk. “It’s double elimination out of that, and then the two winners will play a two-out-of-three series to move on to the states. Getting the byes in the first two rounds is huge.”

Leftfielder Tim Kelleher of Westfield High School registered three hits and scored four runs on the night, including a triple and two singles, while third baseman Geoff Sobotka of Gateway Regional High School went three-for-four with three runs.

“The bottom of our order had ten runs scored, so they really carried us tonight,” Irzyk said. “They had 3 runs scored in the bottom of the fourth, 3 runs in the bottom of the fifth, 2 in the sixth, so it was very pleasant.”

“I’m happy with how we played. We were shorthanded tonight, there is no question about it. We only had ten guys, including Cam Robataille with a pulled hamstring,” Westfield’s skipper added.

“We should be coming back to full strength as far as depth (going into playoffs).”

The date of Westfield’s first playoff game is to be determined.

Westfield National crowned champs

By Peter Francis Staff Writer WESTFIELD – Paper Mill Field erupted in cheers Friday evening as the Westfield National 11-12-year-old Little Leaguers claimed the District 2 championship in four innings against visiting Agawam 11-1.

Behind the pitching heroics of Ethan Flaherty and a balanced offensive attack, National bolted out to an early 2-0 lead in the first and never looked back, with Walter Figueroa providing the exclamation point, a 2-run double to give his team the victory.

Other key offensive contributors included Ryan Moorhouse, whose solo home run in the bottom of the third gave the home team a 3-0 lead.

Sharp baserunning and skillful smallball on the part of National would also set up CJ Skribiski, who would smack a double later in the inning to boost that lead to 7-0.

After the game, Westfield

manager Billy Lamirande was both ecstatic and relieved by his team’s performance.

“We were in this situation last year. We played well and we lost by a run in the last inning,” he said, reiterating how proud he was of his boys.

“I knew I had the team to go this far, but we played a heck of a team in Agawam. We played them Saturday and won 4-2, but I knew it was going to be a battle to beat this team.”

Lamirande also highlighted the keys to his team’s success, including a defense that’s given up only seven runs in their six contests.

Babe Ruth 13s outlast Pittsfield

By Peter Francis Staff Writer WESTFIELD – It was a pressure cooker at Bullens Field Friday, as Westfield’s Babe Ruth 13-year-olds triumphed over Pittsfield 3-1 to advance in the Western Mass. State Tournament.

The home team notched two of their runs early, with Ethan Dolan and Cam Parent registering an RBI apiece, giving pitcher Carter Cousins the adequate run support he needed to keep Pittsfield at bay.

Cousins was relieved in the bottom of the sixth by Jim Hagan, who promptly extinguished Pittsfield with two strikeouts and a pop up and then preserved the win in the seventh inning after an RBI single from Spencer Cloutier added an insurance run, putting Westfield up for good 3-1.

After the game, Westfield coach Mike Nihill was enthused that his boys finally topped

Pittsfield in this tournament.

“They’ve been chasing these guys for years, 11-year-old, 12-year-olds. These guys were beating our pants off for a couple of years,” he said, before highlighting the squad’s defense and pitching.

“The pitching depth has gotten us to this point. We’ve got three incredibly strong boys and we trust them all,” he added. “To have them attack their pitching so early in the game was the difference. They set the tone and matched them inning for inning.

But the coaching staff is really impressed with the boys, how they pick each other up. It’s a good balanced team with good chemistry and depth, top to bottom.”

Westfield is off until Sunday at 1 p.m. when they will face the winner of tomorrow’s game between Pittsfield and Holden.

QUESTIONS & ATTITUDE Compelling questions ... and maybe a few actual answers

HOT TOPICS: 3 ISSUES GENERATING A BUZZ

SPEED FREAKS

Sentimental journey

A couple questions we had to ask — ourselves

AP/PHELAN M. EBENHACK

Mike Helton has invested in an umbrella policy.

For those who have been around NASCAR for a long time, Daytona International Speedway has served up two sentimental journeys over the past four years.

The latest was Aric Almirola delivering Richard Petty’s No. 43 Ford to Daytona Victory Lane on Sunday afternoon in the rain-postponed, then rain-shortened Coke Zero 400.

Petty ruled the 2.5-mile tri-oval for three decades in cars carrying that competition number. The “King of Stock Car Racing” won seven NASCAR Cup Series championships and seven Daytona 500s as the driver of the No. 43 car.

Since the mid-1980s, the wins rapidly decreased. Petty stayed on as driver until 1992, then turned car owner, but only saw three wins with Bobby Hamilton and John Andretti, the last driver to win in the No. 43 in 1999.

Aric Almirola, the 43rd driver of the No. 43 car, got the King’s ride back to Victory Lane on Sunday at Daytona.

One of the biggest congratulations was given by Wood Brothers Racing co-owner Eddie Wood. The Woods’ No. 21 Ford is another NASCAR team that carries a lot of Cup Series history.

Trevor Bayne captured the 2011 Daytona 500 in the No. 21 car in another highly sentimental moment for the longtime race fan.

“We’re really happy for Richard, Dale (Inman), Aric and the rest of the team,” Wood said. “It was a big day for the sport as a whole to have the No. 43 car in Victory Lane at Daytona on the 30th

What’s the most pleasant surprise of 2014’s first half?

GODSPEAK: I’ll go with David Gilliland’s upset pole victory at Daytona.

Spread the wealth.

KEN’S CALL: Junior’s resurgence is an obvious call, but I’ll say the spring in Jeff Gordon’s step.

And the biggest downer?

GODSPEAK: The bad weather, which has chased NASCAR around the country.

KEN’S CALL: A tie — Danica’s lack of noticeable improvement, stubborn TV ratings.

Associated Press/TERRY RENNA

A Coke and a smile … he doesn’t consider it watered-down.

Will Almirola’s win jump-start him and the No. 43 to another level?

Perhaps indirectly, at best. Getting a victory, whether it comes via last-lap pass or timely rainstorm, can create a different vibe around a team, which in turn can possibly open doors with potential sponsors. Which, as you know, occasionally leads to more horsepower through the old “cubic dollars” formula.

anniversary of Richard’s 200th win and on the day that our good friend Barney Hall retired from the MRN broadcast booth.”

It was a great day for NASCAR oldtimers, but oddly, Petty wasn’t feeling it.

“Well, 30 years ago is history, OK, and today is future,” he said. “Today is today.”

Is that a yes?

Didn’t you notice the interspersing of the words “perhaps,” “possibly,” “potential” and “occasionally”? Yes, Almirola’s “win” might open some doors that will lead down a hallway to something helpful. But the 43 team came to Daytona last week 23rd in points for a reason. Working your way to the front at a plate race where nearly every high-rent team had been wrecked out, and being up front when the curtain-closing storm hit, doesn’t suddenly make you a front-runner.

400 POSTPONEMENTS The days of “Bill France weather” are apparently over as the Daytona 500 and Coke Zero 400 were dogged by rain this season. The 400 was postponed a day, but Daytona Beach residents don’t want to think about the last time the race had to be rescheduled. The year was 1998, and the 400 was postponed from its July date to the middle of October because of wildfires due to extreme drought conditions. Daytona area residents have no problem with rain when compared with rampant wildfires.

So Alex Bowman shouldn’t be excited with his 13th-place finish?

Good one. Listen, someday Alex Bowman might overachieve to the point that he gets a shot with topline equipment, and then he might produce and become a household name. But none of that will be due to a 13th-place finish in a rainshortened plate race.

KEEN OBSERVATION TNT racing analyst Larry McReynolds made a keen observation following the 16-car melee on Lap 20 of the Coke Zero 400. He said: “When I look at the drivers involved in this wreck, we’ve had 10 different winners in 2014 and it’s been a long time since we’ve had someone new win a race this year. When I look at the drivers involved, this opens the door to get our 11th winner.” Bingo!

Nailed it, Larry.

DAYTONA REWIND

Junior’s shot at double-dipping Daytona didn’t go as hoped The Coke Zero 400 didn’t go the way Dale Earnhardt Jr. had hoped. Just before NASCAR called the race after 112 laps, Earnhardt spoke about his day at Daytona International Speedway.

You’ve had an eventful day?

“We are just trying to get out there and see if we can get a good finish. Anybody can still win this race. My car is pretty tore up. The left-front splitter looks a little high, and I think the balance of the car is real tight.

“When I get into the pack and get behind guys

real close, I’ve got to use up a lot of race track on the exit of the corner. We’ve got to figure out what we can do to get better there. Hopefully the rain goes away and we get going.”

Even with the damage, you think you have a car good enough to be able to win?

“Anybody can still win it. Anything can happen. There can still be another big wreck, but I just don’t know. I don’t know how it’s going to stack up. Our car is at a pretty rough spot as far as speed and handling. If it thins out even more it’s going to handle better.”

You did a good job of avoiding that last wreck.

“It’s easy to just come to a stop as long as nobody runs into you. We were going to be fine on that first wreck, but we got run over. I can’t believe all of the cars we have wrecked today. It’s kind of uncharacteristic, but it’s just how it works sometimes.”

Why has it been that way?

“Daytime race, it’s a little bit slicker. The cars are moving around a little bit more, and guys are being a bit more aggressive here.

“You don’t see us all lined up on the top running around there trying not to go to the back.

Guys are running side by side. The package is really keeping the pack pretty tight, and guys are running side by side from the lead on back.

“If you’re gonna run tight like that, you’re gonna have mistakes, or cars just get moved around by the air. Heck, a guy could just be holding the wheel and the car will move three feet, depending on what is happening around him. Sometimes you just get yourself in a bad spot.”

Annie’s Mailbox

By Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar

Losing sleep Dear Annie: My friend “Horace” is 75. He spends a lot of time with “Loretta,” a childhood friend who is experiencing some dementia. It is getting to the point where Loretta doesn’t remember how to do many of the things she used to be exceptional at, and of course, it makes her frustrated and agitated.

This gal is a widow with children, and her husband left her a profitable business. The children have never liked any of the guys she’s dated, but they tolerate Horace because he is now her unpaid caregiver. The only other person who is around the house is a parttime secretary for the company.

The kids recently had a letter drawn up to notify Horace that he should not expect anything from Loretta’s estate when she dies.

He is well-off already, so that doesn’t matter. The kids otherwise keep a hands-off approach when it comes to their mother. They deny that she suffers from any dementia, and we doubt her doctor is aware of it -- her kids won’t report it, and Loretta says nothing because she is afraid they will put her in a nursing home.

Loretta feels lost when Horace isn’t around. It is also getting more difficult to calm her down when she becomes agitated. I am concerned about Horace because I think the kids are taking advantage of his devotion. If something should happen to her, I can see them blaming him. He is already losing sleep over her episodes, and I know her condition worries him. How can Horace protect himself, as well as Loretta, without upsetting the kids? -- M. Dear M: Could Horace accompany Loretta to her next doctor’s appointment and discuss her dementia? (He also could write to the doctor, explaining his concerns.) It would be best if Horace could convince Loretta’s children to pay more attention to her care, letting them know that she needs more than he can provide. If she can no longer live alone, it would be preferable that the kids hire a caregiver or place Loretta in an assisted-living complex or continuing-care facility where someone will check on her before she burns down the house. She still could retain some independence.

Horace also can contact the Eldercare Locator (eldercare.gov) at 1-800-677-1116 and ask about available resources.

Dear Annie: Is there a polite way to tell family and friends that you don’t want a Christmas gift? My wife and I are getting up there in years. If we need or want something, we buy it. All we really want is quality time with our family members, not useless gifts. -- Salem Ore. Dear Salem: It is perfectly OK to tell your family and friends that this year you’d like nothing more than a gift of their time.

Don’t make comments about how useless their material gifts would be. Say only that at this point you cherish visits with the important people in your lives. If these same people choose to buy you something anyway, please accept it graciously, say thank you, and then donate it to charity.

Dear Annie: “Young and Stuck’s” husband mirrors the distancing behavior of my husband, which led to our divorce. Now, more than 60 years later, I have read of similar behavior in descriptions of concussion victims, particularly athletes in contact sports.

At the age of 16, my husband played high school football and had two concussions. As he grew more distant in our marriage, I noted his glassy, fixed stare and flat expression. After our divorce, he married several more times and went through bankruptcy.

“Stuck” needs to get her husband in for a neurological exam and find a good counselor for herself. -- Also Stuck and Poor Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

HINTS FROM HELOISE SEND A GREAT HINT TO: Heloise P.O. Box 795000 San Antonio, TX 78279-5000 Fax: 1-210-HELOISE Email: Heloise(at)Heloise.com TRAVEL HINT Dear Heloise: Here is my travel hint: All cosmetics, bandages, mini night light, tiny alarm clock, mini flashlight, etc., go into an 8-by8-inch plastic container that has a tight seal. I also put a large rubber band around it for safety. This way, I just put the plastic container on the bathroom counter, and everything is neat and ready to go. -- Loretta W., Somerset, Pa. CLEAN GLASSES Dear Heloise: My husband and I had our annual eye exams yesterday, and we were stunned to learn that we would now be charged $2 for the previously free small bottles of eyeglass cleaner. I told my husband that I bet you’d have a recipe to make your own. Do you? -- Becky and Billy D., Sublimity, Ore. I do have a simple way to clean your eyeglasses. Rubbing alcohol is a good cleaner, but really all you need to do is use a clean microfiber cloth. You will be absolutely amazed at how it cleans off all of the gunk! You don’t even need a cleaner or water. -- Heloise

YOUR HOROSCOPE Contract Bridge

By Jaqueline Bigar

DOG EAT DOUG

Brian Anderson

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Saturday, July 12, 2014: This year you often wonder whether to be vulnerable or like a turtle, protected by your shell. You might experiment as to which way is best for you. You often want to be logical but are highly emotional, and vice versa. Potential sweeties find you enticing and magnetic. You might have difficulty deciding who, when and what.

Date until you are sure. If you are attached, your significant other will love your changeability once he or she gets used to it.

Your magnetism speaks to this person as well. Add more glue to your bond, not forgetting how important this person is to you. CAPRICORN has the same concerns as you. They just approach them differently.

ZACK HILL John Deering and John Newcombe

ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHH An authority figure in your life, perhaps an older relative, could present you with an opportunity, but you might not be able to say “yes” because of other commitments. Anger could erupt. Proceed with care if you don’t want to get into a fight.

Tonight: A force, wherever you are.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHH You could be taken aback by a situation that forces you to break past your normal boundaries. Once you walk in another person’s shoes, empathy evolves and takes any disagreement away. Good news heads your way. Accept a fun invitation. Tonight: Try a different type of cuisine.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHH Relax and then deal with someone directly. Speak your mind in a manner in which others can receive your message.

Make quality time for a loved one you really care about. If it is your sweetie, try to re-create an old-fashioned date. Tonight: Adding more heat to the moment.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH Others could be far more in touch with their feelings than you realize.

A loved one has been changing in front of your very eyes. You could be delighted by what comes up in a discussion. Consider being more vulnerable than in the past.

Tonight: The only answer to an offer is “yes.”

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHH You might have focus and direction today, whereas others do not. They are playful and spontaneous. Make it clear what you want to do. Indicate when you will be available. A loved one or friend will coax you out a little early anyway. Tonight: Enjoy a spontaneous happening.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHHH Today’s Full Moon brings into light your friendships, loved ones and possibly your relationship with a child.

You could be juggling more than you can handle at the present moment. Someone close makes a request that you would like to fulfill. Make a major effort. Tonight: Whatever you do, do it 100 percent.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHH You might feel pressured. The question might be how to proceed. Some of you might try to juggle different concerns, whereas others make a choice. You could become unusually frustrated and angry with demands or requests. Let others know your feelings, in any case. Tonight: Find a friend who knows how to make you smile and detach.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH Take a day trip, as you are very tired of the same old routine. If you can get away longer, all the better. You could be amazed at the results of even a day trip.

You’ll gain a new perspective and relax at the same time. You just might opt for doing these escapes more frequently. Tonight: Return calls only if you want.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH You could see a situation differently than a partner does. You might have a conflict about funds. If you can hold back on this expenditure, you will see new information come forward. Someone close to you lets you know how much you are cared about. Relax. Tonight: Make it dinner for two.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH You will want to assume control, while others seem scattered. A partner or loved one might be in such a good mood that his or her efficiency seems to dwindle and he or she doesn’t care! This person is loving the moment. If you can, join in.

Otherwise, be efficient if you would like.

Tonight: Your popularity pushes to the forefront.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHH You could be stunned by what you are seeing; nevertheless, you will opt to withdraw. You can decide whether to create a sanctuary-type mood alone or with another person. You crave quieter, more

Cryptoquip

Crosswords

centered interactions. Tonight: Listen to what is being said without interjecting thoughts in your mind.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH Your friends cannot seem to be without you. They call you, invite you to their parties and ask for your company in general. A child or loved one also needs your attention. You have the ability to juggle various concerns. Remember what is most important in your life and act accordingly. Tonight: Where you want to be.

When it comes to 21st century multimedia platforms, “hyper local” is a term you hear a lot.

But, day in and day out, The Westfield News provides consistant coverage of the stories you need to know about, that are important to your city, town, neighborhood and home.

City: State:

It’s not a new idea. In fact, The Westfield News has been providing readers with “hyper local” news coverage of Westfield, Southwick, and the Hilltowns all along. Television, radio and regional newspapers only provide fleeting coverage of local issues you care about. TV stations and big newspaper publishers, after years of cutbacks and mergers, frankly aren’t able to provide in-depth coverage of smaller markets anymore.
